Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The atmosphere on earth is mostly a result of the interaction of solar winds and earth gravitational pull. The planet takes incoming shortwave insolation that heats the surface from above and charges the surface from below.
  • At night it gives this absorbed energy as a black body out in the space when it completes a cycle of <u>12 hours and this in long waveforms of energy with IR radiation that is quite less as compared to that of suns.</u>
  • Like a black body, the earth radiated this heat bk as it cannot afford to keep much as is to balance the energy flow within and out of the earth system.

My suggestion: The only thing you can do is leave the cage in exactly the same place, leave the door to it wide open, and keep plenty of fresh food and fresh water in it. Check it several times a day. If he's not there in, like a week or 10 days, then there's not much hope. I'm sorry.

What would be the advantage of locating stomata on the underside of a leaf be for the plant? (Hint: sunlight and the effect of t
makkiz [27]

Explanation:

1. Stomata are the openings on the leaf for the exchange of the water and air from the plant to the environment. It actually helps plants to breath, so it can also be seen as nostrills of the plants. They are present on either side of the leaves. Opening a stomata is like opening the doors for the exchange of the gases . This comes at a cost.

Due to sunlight and heat from the environment water content of the leaf is also remarkably lost when stomata opens, which is protected otherwise due to outer waxy layer of the leaf. To reduce this, most of the stomata are present on the lower surface of the leaves, as it will reduce the possibility of water loss due to high sunlight during the afternoon.

2. In aquatic plants you can find most of the stomata present on the upper surface of the leaf. As the plants float on the water surface, its lower epidermis is stuck to the water, hence respiration is least likely there as there is no contact of the stomata with the air.
